Over the break, the NLRSD did some work on the North Little Rock High School, Ridgeroad and Seventh Street elementary schools, and Pike View Early Childhood Center. District leaders, building contractors and movers have used the time while students were absent to move student and teacher furnishings and supplies into brand-new or renovated spaces, according to Superintendent Kelly Rodgers.

"We are working all weekend," Rodgers said about district staff members, as well as the contractors on the different projects.

Two of the newly constructed "academic towers" and the dining area at the high school will be open starting Tuesday. A third tower was opened at the beginning of this school year.

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Experts say it will take weeks for the floodwaters to recede after the recent storms that hit towards the end of December.

Wednesday morning emergency managers gathered to get the latest information from the National Weather Service.

It was all hands on deck at the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management Headquarters Wednesday. State officials, the National Weather Service and the Corps of Engineers held a conference call with emergency coordinators from around the state.

ADEM Director David Maxwell reminded everyone to plan ahead.

"Just a reminder to think ahead. You know what the crests are going to be, so as you're watching that, please think about what it's going to cause and what you might need," explained Maxwell.
